Ultimate Gingerbread Cookies
These rich, spicy cookies are sturdy enough to use for gingerbread houses or tree ornaments. The cookies can be baked and frozen, tightly wrapped, for up to two months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before decorating.

This icing is easy to work with and dries hard on the cookies in about 30 minutes; it can also be tinted with paste food coloring.
